Release Day: The Duet by R.S Grey

When 27-year-old pop sensation Brooklyn Heart steps in front of a microphone, her love songs enchant audiences worldwide. But when it comes to her own love life, the only spell she’s under is a dry one.So when her label slots her for a Grammy performance with the sexy and soulful Jason Monroe, she can’t help but entertain certain fantasies... those in which her G-string gets more play than her guitars'.Only one problem. Jason is a lyrical lone wolf that isn’t happy about sharing the stage—nor his ranch — with the sassy singer. But while it may seem like a song entitled ‘Jason Monroe Is an Arrogant Ho’ basically writes itself, their label and their millions of fans are expecting recording gold…They’re expecting The Duet.

The Duet will be priced at $2.99 for two days post-release, then the price will bump to $3.99!

The M Lounge was the hippest and most discreet club in LA. If there was any hope of me locking down a one-night stand, M Lounge was the place to go.“I can’t drink much tonight because I have that meeting with my record label in the morning,” I warned as we passed through the back entrance to the club and headed up a set of stairs that were used exclusively for the VIP level. Fun fact: one time I was going up those stairs when P. Diddy was coming down, and he totally touched my ass. Allegedly.“Just to clarify: if you’re begging me for tequila shots at midnight, threatening to kill my first born if I don’t give them to you, I should still tell you no?” Cammie asked, just to ensure the boundaries were set. Better safe than
sorry.“That was one time and it was in Cabo,” I protested. “What else are you supposed to do in Cabo other than challenge a mariachi band to a tequila shot contest until the lead singer passes out beside a donkey?”Cammie held up her hands and started listing off items. “I dunno— enjoy the beach, check out the museums and the culture—”“That was a rhetorical question,” I interrupted as we made it to the top of the stairs.As if by magic, the black curtain in front of us swept to the side, opening up an entire room of drunken debauchery before us. In one corner, a celebrity who shall remain nameless (we’ll call her Nennifer Janiston) was sucking face with a sexy man, and across the room two of the funniest women in comedy were doing body shots off of a waiter from the club.“Welcome to the behind the scenes of Hollywood,” I whispered to Cammie.

Wow! Yeah that pretty much sums up what I thought of The Duet. R.S Grey dragged me into Brooklyn's world by my hair and didn't let me go.

Brooklyn Heart is a pop sensation who's love life is as dry as the Sahara Desert. She is on top of the world career wise but her personal life is stuck in park. Brooklyn is funny, smart, beautiful and super talented. Her and her sister Cammie were dealt a bad hand and grew together, becoming strong, smart, independent women.

Brooklyn's label throws her a curve ball in the form of none other than Jason Monroe, the sexy soulful singer. Their relationship and I use this term loosely is rocky, I mean like they hadn't said a word to each other and Jason couldn't stand her. She was a spoiled princess to him. They a forced to collaborate and write a song together for an awards show.

When two complete opposites are thrown together things get interesting. Jason and Brooklyn's relationship is strained. He's hot and cold and she at times doesn't know which way is up with him. This kept the story interesting. Jason obviously had a secret, some reason for his brooding ways. When opposites attract, and sparks ignite can these two finish their duet or are they destined to be solo artists their whole lives?

Vague I know but I don't want to ruin this story for anyone who decides to read it. What I can tell you is that as always R.S. Grey has written a book that left me speechless, made me laugh, made me cry, and flat out pissed me off at times, but hey that is what makes a book good. The sexual tension is off the charts and the banter between the characters is HILARIOUS! Not only are the main characters in the book well-written and well developed but the supporting characters add so much to the story.

Trust me when I say this. This is not a book you do not want to miss out on. 1-Click The Duet as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed.

I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way, I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday.I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors include Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

Ok, first of all I want to thank Brooke for giving me an advanced copy of this book to review. Let me say this... I absolutely loved this book, and I could relate to Velaney in so many ways, due to the both of us having a horrible thing ...
